ServiceMaster of Salem is a leading disaster restoration and reconstruction firm serving the greater Salem region across four locations.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We’re looking for a sharp, driven construction professional who is ready to step into leadership. As Assistant Division Manager, you will work directly alongside our Operations Manager to sharpen the efficiency and profitability of the Construction Division — coordinating project managers, supporting estimators, and ensuring every job runs on time, on budget, and above client expectations.

This is a high-visibility role with a clear path toward Division Manager. You will have real influence over how the division operates — shaping the systems, workflows, and culture we build together.

•    Run weekly division meetings and lead operational reviews with project managers and estimators

•    Partner with estimators to review project scopes, budgets, and profitability targets before and during jobs

•    Identify and drive process improvements that reduce waste and increase division margin

•    Monitor active projects for schedule adherence, quality standards, and client satisfaction

•    Support project managers with problem-solving on complex or escalated jobs

•    Track KPIs and report division performance to the Operations Manager

•    Help onboard, coach, and develop field staff and project management team members

•    Coordinate with mitigation, administration, and sales departments for seamless job handoffs

•    Step in as acting division lead when the Operations Manager is unavailable
 

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Required:

•    3–7 years of construction project management experience

•    Proven ability to manage multiple projects and crews simultaneously

•    Strong working knowledge of construction estimating and job costing

•    Excellent communication, organizational, and leadership skills

•    Experience with project management or scheduling software

•    Ability to hold teams accountable while maintaining a positive, professional culture
